Answer to Question 1

Earth's Moon and Mercury are good subjects for comparative planetology. They are similar in a number of ways. Most important, they are small worlds; the Moon is only a fourth of Earth's diameter, and Mercury is just over a third of Earth's diameter. They have negligible atmospheres, their rotation has been altered by tides, their surfaces are heavily cratered, their lowlands are flooded in places by ancient lava flows, and both now have ancient, inactive surfaces.
